Outline: Zizai in the Micro and the Macro · Zizaily Zizaiing orig·Chinese

This outline introduces a philosophical writing project of considerable scope, yet without presuming to be all-encompassing.

Its scope is broad because it seeks to unfold structure, language, awareness, science and technology, and the ways of the world. It is micro in its recognition that every utterance is local and every structure is a manifestation of tension.

Hence the phrase “Zizai in the Micro and the Macro”: broad in its structural conception, yet humble before the inexhaustibility of Zizai.

The initial plan for The Philosophy of Zizai was to organize the writing into the following parts:

1. The Philosophy of Zizai · Outline and Orientation — Attuning with the Reader
2. The Philosophy of Zizai · Part One: An Outline of the Cosmos and Life
3. The Philosophy of Zizai · Part Two: Human Practice in Response to the Philosophy of Zizai
4. The Philosophy of Zizai · Part Three: Zizaiing — The Path of Politics, Economics, and Technoscience
5. The Philosophy of Zizai · Part Three: Zizaiing — The Breath of Reason and the Rhythm of Zizai
6. The Philosophy of Zizai · Part Four: Considering the Prospects of Human Civilization
